Application filed April 9, 1881. Renewed May 26, 1882. (MotleL) To all whom it may concm Be it known that I, THOMAS S. PAGE, of Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Towl-Backs; and I do herebydeciare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanyin g drawings,which form a part of this specification.

Figure l is a front View, Fig. 2 'is a vertical sectional View on the line :v x, Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional View on the line 3 y, Fig. 2, ot' my inproved combined towelrack and wall-protector.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are denoted by like letters of reference. .This invention relates to an improved towelrack, and to the combination, with the same, of a wall-protector, as will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the' claims. 4

In the drawings hereto annexed, A represcnts a suitably-constructed flat board, which may be carved or ornamented in any suitable' nanner, and provided with screw-eyes B for suspendin g it upon the wall above an ordinary wash-stand. The board A is provided at diagonally-opposite corners with suitably-constructed brackets C, in which the arms D are pivoted, as shown, in such a manner as to be capable of being folded upon the face of the board, said arms forming, when extended, the towel holders or supports.

E E are folding arms or brackets, pivoted to the lower edge of the board A by screws F, which permit the said arms or brackets to be folded under the board A, which may thus, when required, be paeked into a very small space. The *saidarms or braekets E are preferably provided, with longitudinal vertical slots Gr, enabling. them to be lonigitudnally extended upon the screws or pivots F. i

H is a lrame, covered with oii-cloth I or other suitable material, so as to form a tidy or wall-protector, which is provided near its up- `per corners with eyes or staples Ji, by which i it may be adjusted upon the hooks or nails K at or near the outer en'ds of the extension-arms or brackets E, as shown.

It will be seen that the said arms are capable of being adjusted so as to accommodatc the device to tidies or wall-protectors of various sizes.

From the foregong description, taken in connection with the drawingshereto annexed,

the operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood. It is simple, convenient, ornamentai, inexpensive, and easily adjusted.

,hooks at the outer ends of said extensionbrackets, as herein described, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that' I claim the foregoing as' my own 1 have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.`
